Sponsored by local nonprofit and Salvation Army partner in giving, Dig Deep, the annual event provides toys for The Salvation Army’s Toy N Joy shop, where parents can go and “shop” for Christmas presents at zero cost. Nathan was one of several volunteers who browsed Target’s grand selection to meet the needs of underserved families in San Francisco.

Ready.. set.. shop!!

Dig Deep started in 2002, when local real estate agent Rick Teed learned that The Salvation Army’s shelves were empty and in dire need of donations. In just a few days, Rick raised $10,000 and spent 100% of it on toys for needy children. In 2009, Rick joined forces with Butch Haze to create the Dig Deep Foundation, and the holidays for disadvantaged youth throughout San Francisco have not been the same since.

A huge thank you to Nathan Adrian for making The Salvation Army his charity of choice this holiday season, and for his dedication to helping families in need this Christmas.
